There is just something about Southern Cooking, something about the women who’ve mastered it, and something about what it represents. A Southern Feast represents time spent in careful preparation and an almost entire region of people that didn’t get the memo about cholesterol. Southern cooking brilliantly displays a community that still remains untouched by at least some of the craziness in the world around us. Things move a little slower in the South, and one of those things is the cooking. Preparing a Southern feast is a job. It is hard work, and it takes some time, but that is part of the charm. This cooking is the kind that allows for sitting around canning
When the Acadians first appeared in their original settlement, they developed skills of farming and fishing that they carried with them throughout their history. As the Acadians first started to arrive in Louisiana, they set up near bayous, swamps, and prairies (LaBorde, n.d. para.1, 5). Acadians willingly moved into Southern Louisiana because they were able to settle land and cultivate crops (Rudolphy, n.d. p. 2). It is here that the culture of the Acadians is exhibited in their cuisine: their simplistic and non-materialistic views in their culture lead them to using what they had available to them. They used ingredients such as: crawfish, shrimp, and crabs from the gulf, swamps, and bayous. The Acadians drew upon their skills of farming and fishing that they developed in Nova Scotia and used it in Louisiana to create their dishes (Prudhommes, 1984, pp. 13-15). Similarly, Acadians also cultivated crops such as rice, which resulted in rice being a staple ingredient in many of their dishes. Undoubtedly, the Acadian’s style of living off the land developed the Cajun cooking
The Cherokee individuals were equally hunters and farmers. They grew corn, beans, and squash. When the Europeans came to America, they transported wars and diseases to the Cherokees. The general public of the Cherokee community abided in wattle and daub constructions composed by weaving wood, river cane, and vines into a framework. The roof of Cherokee houses was either thatched with grass or shingled with bark. As several as eight people might share the classic Cherokee house. There was usually a fire burning in the house, but when the fire is not burning the houses are smoky and dark. Even though the Cherokee men assembled the Cherokee houses the Cherokee women possessed them. The Cherokee ate deer, bear, buffalo, elk, squirrel, rabbit,
On special occasions, bread or pancakes were baked. Men usually supplied meat: ham, venison, beef, salt pork, buffalo, rabbit, or bear. Settlers largely drank what we do today, but also foraged for delicious additions to their meals. They learned how to pick nuts and berries from the surrounding woodland, and sometimes purchased brown sugar, molasses, honey or salt. Available foods depended on location and season, so produce and game varied greatly from one area to the next.
In Sun Chief particularly the chapter called “the Making of a Man” we can see that food is very important spiritually to the Hopi people. In the Wowochim ceremony each boy is given their manhood name over a “mother-corn ear” (159). In each of a dozen or more ceremonies we see that certain practices such as the sprinkling of corn (159, 160, 162, etc.), or the eating of
The meats they ate were lamb, beef, mutton, pork, bacon, veal, rabbit, hare, fowl, peacock, swan, goose, blackbirds and pigeon. They also ate heterogeneous kinds of freshwater and sea fish. The vegetables they ate were turnips, parsnips, carrots, onions, leeks, garlic and radishes, and the fruits they ate were apples, pears, plums, cherries and strawberries. Some herbs that they ate and used for auxiliary spices were Avens, Borage, Clary, Dittany, Galingale, Hyssop, Laver, Orach, Pellitory, Purslane, Rocket, Rose Hips, St.John's-Wort, and Southernwood. These herbs had nonsensical names and are no longer used in cooking.
bananas, and rice. Their dishes are traditionally spicy and natural. I learned many things from the students
The popular interpretation of the words for wild rice (manoomin) as good berry or good seed “may reflect the deeper meaning of wild rice in Aboriginal culture or recognize its nutritional properties” (Vennum 5). In addition to storytelling, the gift of manoomin has been acknowledged through ceremony. A feast that featured the first harvest of rice was held at the ricing camp, and wild rice was served at other ceremonies and family feasts (Blegen 21). But it is also used as an everyday good and was eaten all year round, by itself or in stews, soups, not just at harvest or through the winter.

The reading mentioned four main ingredients: Sesame, Black-eyed peas, Okra, and Peanuts. The dishes we cooked today includes two of these ingredients. The dishes used Okra and Black-eyed peas. In Africa slaves ate yams, but in the Americas they could not find any close substitutes. The slaves replaced the yams with the sweet potato. This Candied Yams took advantage of the abundance of sugar during this time period. The Hoppin’ John recipe used rice. Rice was a staple crop in Africa.
